I think I'd probably find a homeless shelter given the choice between living with my in-laws or being homeless. It's bad enough having to live in a house my m.i.l. owns because we've got bad credit & I'm the only one working :P

The only thing I could suggest is maybe sit down & have a heart-to-heart with the in-laws. Let them know you appreciate everything they're doing for you & that you understand having you living with them is making things crowded, but maybe see if things could possibly be rearranged to give you & your husband a little privacy, like maybe hanging up a curtain or putting a screen up, setting some hours so you can get some decent sleep, that kind of thing. Yes, you're their guests, but you're also family.

Since it's just you & your husband, do you have any friends you could impose on for maybe a night or two a week? Even if you offer to cook dinner or help clean house to make yourself feel better about having a sleep-over? You could also check around in your area & see if anyone needs a house-sitter. Some people are bound to be going out of town for the holidays.
